My daughter (British/Irish) is relocating to Abu Dhabi. Shk. Khalifa City B (I think) I'm trying to compile some information for her and would be grateful for any help from the E.W. ladies. 1) Info. on how to get a good housemaid (permanent - live in) 2) A good place to get curtains made. 3) A good vet 4) Places of interest for kids (12 & 8 yrs) 5) Good doctors/dentist/hospital 6) Good ladies hairdresser 7) Reasonable place for grocery shopping Really appreciate your help Regards, L :thinking: Hi LDC - Depending on where you live, there are many good Supermarkets: Lulu Carrefour Co-operative these have been the ones I've been using. You also asked about curtains - I went to Sedar a small local chain right with a large showroom, next door to Sofitel and opposite the Sheraton. They are very good, professional but quite pricey. In the end I went with a company called Flair who gave an excellent price and I was helped & advised by a great guy called John 050 122 7599 There's nothing else on the list I can help you with so good luck.

I just can't put my hands on the receipt as I'm moving from a hotel to an apartment - I think about 340AED for a 3/4 head of foils and a cut & blow-dry. If you call them they will give you a rough idea of cost. Cheaper I think than UK but I've come over from London so I do think it's cheaper. Julz

I went to the Cosmopolitan Salon today and had fantastic service from the team, my stylist/colourist was Tina and she made a brilliant job of my hair - I'm all booked up to go back next month, highly recommend them. JulzD
